Ranked 1 in State going into the season, Payson’s Wrestling team is playing for keeps this year. Their first tournament of the season, the Millard Ironman, was November 30 and December 1. With only 4 seniors, all of which are Captains, they are expecting to do well this season.

“We have a strong team this year and we seniors have a lot of experience,” said Wrestling Captain, Devan Judd.

With a record of 1-18 they could possibly win more games they did all of last season in their first week. Returning starters Katelyn Hamilton and Katelyn Hannifan look to lead the Lady Lions to a season they haven’t had in a long time.

Have you ever seen CO2 dragsters racing across a tile floor being guided by a string? The sight is amazing to behold.

On October 22 and 23, Mr. Nielson’s physics classes raced their C02 cars. Two cars race each other using a machine and CO2 cartridges to push them. A string connects the cars to the machine and guides the cars in a straight line. The machine measures the speed of both cars. The winner gets extra credit for having an amazing car.
